Customers utilize the HelioStorm’s ultra-pure syngas as a fuelstock for systems that generate electricity, liquid fuels, hydrogen, and valuable chemicals that they can either use or sell.

Because of the extremely high heat and processing efficiency of the Ionic Gasifier technology, the HelioStorm Gasifier is feedstock agnostic. Any type of material can be processed, with no sorting required. The system has been tested on feedstocks as varied as biomass, municipal solid waste, pyrolysis oil, and waste coal. Regardless of the input, the output from the HelioStorm Gasifier is a clean, energy-containing synthesis gas (syngas) comprised primarily of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, and free of other byproducts, long-chain hydrocarbons, and contaminants. The ratio of hydrogen to carbon monoxide can be varied to the desired composition depending on the feedstock, processing conditions, and post-processing adjustments. HelioStorm-based systems then utilize this syngas as a fuelstock for systems that generate electricity, liquid fuels, hydrogen, and valuable chemicals that clients either use or sell.

“When INL analyzed Cogent’s syngas, we looked for hydrocarbons. None were identified, suggesting they were either absent or below the detection limit. This suggests that it is a clean product.”
